A FEW TIMELY HINTS ON ROSE PLANTINS To grow roses successfully in Ore gon, one need not he an expert gar dener, but some conditions of soil, planting and care must be observed. Oregon has an ideal rose climate,! and many beautiful varieties can be grown, which will not stand the se vere climatic conditions of the east ern and central portions of our coun try. Roses do not necessarily need a rich soil. Heavy or clay soils are not as well adapted to roses as loam or sandy soils, but even In the latter the matter of good drainage must not be neglected. As a rule the soil In and about Grants Tass is J adapted to rose culture, but the granite soil needs enriching and plenty of cultivation, and the heav ier black soil needs mulching with coarse stable manure. If the efforts of the Ladles' Aux iliary In Inaugurating a Rose Plant ing Day are tj piove successful, we must use our Judgment and common sense at the outset, and sec that the bushes we buy have a fair start. If you have a loose loamy soil, well are good, but If not, then spade and fork in well a good quantity of stable manure, and If possible add a load or two of river sand. See that It drains well after a rain. A soggy soil Is not good for roses. Commer cial fertilizers are an excellent help to poor soils, and are always the best to use, as they have no seeds In them which will later produce an abundance of weeds. Having bought your roses, prefer ably two-year-old plants, mark out your ground so as to give the roses plenty of room, three or four feet apart each way, four Is the better distance, as you do not want to move your bushes when they are six or seven years old. If possible learn "hlnR of the habits of growth of your bushes, and put the climbers where they can be trained up, and the more rapid growers of the bush roses alternating with those of slow er growth. Hodges of any one rari ty are very effective and also very much in vogue. Robps ran be set out from Febru ary 1st to May 1st, or until the sun eglns to show summer heat. If you let out roses later In the season irotert them from the sun for sev eral days. Roses may also be planted in the fall and not a few growers prefer October or November, as It gives the bushes a good opportunity to set their roots before the spring sun shine starts the buds. If you have bushes that need transplanting, take November for it and you will hardly know the bush was moved. Having marked out your ground, make holes ubout eight Inches across and deep enough to cover the root depth of the plant you have marked fee that not. If the ground Is moln High FENCE as in the early part of the spring no water is necessary, but in May or June fill the hole half full of water, and when It has soaked into the ground, set your roses and press the moist earth firmly around the roots. Spread the roots so as to give them as much chance as possible to get a large amount of moisture from the earth. Plant the roses a little deep er than the marks shewn on the bush, as the soli will usually settle a little. Fill the hole level with the top of the ground and press firmly around the stalk. If there is any dead wood be sure to cut It off, and It wlil do no harm, If the bush Is large, to cut back a few Inches of the live wood, so as to make It eas ier for the rose to start lt3 growth in the new location. If your plant- Ing Is done In February or March no watering Is necessary, but If the ground 13 dry it must be kept moist by watering each day In the even ing. The small rose bushes, one year old cuttings, which are sold 15 or 20 for a dollar, do not require as largo a hole for planting, but other wise they require the same care. Those who desire to grow roses from cuttings can do so by obtaining the cuttings now, and setting them out in a cool, shady place until they are well rooted. A great many varieties are easily grown from cut tings. Most of the two-year-old roses are budded on wild stock. When your roses begin to grow watch for any wild shoots, and as soon as you are sure as to their na ture, nip them off close to the parent stalk. If allowed to grow they will act as suckers and retard the growth of the true rose. One-year-old plants should not be allowed to bloom the first year, and two-year-old bushes should only blossom sparingly. A little sacrifice the first year will be more than repaid by finer roses and better development of the plants themselves In the second year. Some roBos will stand more sun than oth ers, and you must therefore watch your bushes and If your first loca tion Is not right, change to the one which seems better suited. All roses need sunshine and do not like to be crowded. Cut out all puny or sickly wood at any time of the year, and when you are doing your spring pruning, leave only the stocky and vigorous branches, and prune for an open bush. Use common sense and keep your eyes open, and your ex perience will soon teach you the rest. Remember the old adage: "If at first you don't succeed try, try, again." T. P. CRAMER. COMMUNICATIONS Letter Prom Commissioner Carson.

I sulphur compound, as the rains have disinfected and cleaned his orcnaro for him. There could not be a greater error made by the fruit grower than to rely on this fiction. All live scale that may have been on tne trees ai me ucgiuuius winter are alive now, and will be In evidence next fall when the grower who may have the scale in his orchard has no necessity to spray for the same with the lime and and other diseases from them." This item Implies that the grower been of great service to the fruit trees as It helped to clean the scale "The drenching rains have also comes to gather his crop, if he neg lected to spray with the lime and sulphur spray. All the rains have done towards cleaning the trees is to wash off dead scale shells that the scale have abandoned. In no case have the live scale been injured by the heavy rains, or our unusual temperature of the winter. Of "other diseases," aside from insect pests, all diseases of fruit trees are fungus In origin, and our unusual wet winter has been very favorable for their development. Unless the fruit grower should spray his apples and pears with bordeaux just as the buds begin to swell, I predict that there will be an unusual loss from scabby apples and pears. The same remedy should be used on the peach to pre vent peach leaf curl. Present Indication points to a large crop of fruit for next fall's harvest. Fruit trees have gone through the winter in good condi tion. It is up to the growers to be ready when the weather becomes favorable to spray for the scale, and these fungus diseases that wi'.l surely lessen his profits if he neg lects to. A. H. CARSON. Commissioner Third District. Our careful commissioner Infers more than the language if the Courier article in question con veyed. We might have added, it is true, that spraying must under no circumstances be omitted, but we did not suppose that anyone could think otherwise. The Courier has always been an advocate of spraying early and often. Thanks, Mr. Carson, for calling attention to the matter. We still believe, however, that the heavy ralus have helped to clean the trees for they show It in trunk and limb. It is with pleasure we note that Com missioner Carson agrees with us in predicting a large fruit yield this fall and that fruit trees have gone through the winter In good condition and it Is quite certain that we will have, as the Courier claimed, a bumper crop If the orchardi are properly cared for. If you are fond of giving advice, bo a doctor or a lawyer, and get paid for It. J.D.FRANKLIN Local Representative Otlic with Coron-Bootb Hdw.
